The Challenge

A core element of the GHG Management Institute’s mission is training and developing the GHG experts needed to implement climate change actions in governments, corporations, universities, and other organizations worldwide.

The GHG Management Institute believes professional development opportunities are sparking change that results in new and better mitigation actions in our communities and nations.

Our Approach

Our Education Program develops rigorous technical training that is accessible and online globally in GHG accounting, auditing, and management. We acknowledge that the tuition cost of our training courses and diplomas may be out of reach for some aspiring professionals located in low and middle-income economies.

Given this accessibility gap, we launched a financial aid program in 2009, which awards, in the form of a scholarship, a tuition discount for qualifying individuals (e.g., enrollees from low-income economies, universities, non-governmental organizations, and underrepresented demographic groups).

Financial Assistance Criteria

Our criteria for awarding partial financial assistance or full scholarships to eligible individuals include the following factors:

1. Financial need (in order for us to grant all deserving applicants financial assistance, one of the criteria to award scholarship will be based on the applicants’ annual level of income);
2. Demographic information (e.g. low-income economies, universities, non-governmental organizations, and underrepresented demographic groups);
3. Your personal or organization’s demonstrated commitment to working on greenhouse gas management issues; and
4. Your commitment to a future career in greenhouse gas management.

The Institute strives to provide financial aid based on need.

Applicants are asked to suggest the level of aid they need in the financial assistance request form. The form is available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese below. The Institute reserves the right to grant any and all scholarships and to be the final arbiter of such matters. At this time, the Institute has limited financial resources for full scholarships. Thank you for your understanding.
